Foyer
The entrance to the loft has a good layout with a space underneath the floating staircase which is excellent for organizing and storing frequently-used items.
Just underneath the staircase there’s a hallway closet. The itself staircase is upgraded with a beautiful full-height glass railing which enhances the architectural appeal of the suite.

View looking back into the suite from the living room with the second storey bedroom and master bath above.
The dining area adjoins the linear kitchen and quickly and is flooded with light from the two-storeys of floor-to-ceiling windows of the living area.
Dining right beside the kitchen makes best use of the space.
Kitchen
The linear kitchen features all built-in appliances. These include a stainless steel built-in microwave and range hood, a built-in oven and smooth top cook-top. Included under-cabinet lighting spans the entire width of the countertop making it easier to use the countertop as a well-lit workspace. Of particular note are the built-in dishwasher and the refrigerator/freezer which all have front panels that match the rest of the wood-grained-look of the cabinetry. The benefit of the panelled appliances is that they blend into the finishes of the living area and contribute to the visually-harmonized designer-look to the suite. Subway tile backsplash.
Bedroom
The bedroom has a sense of drama as it’s located on the 2nd-storey. It’s also functional because it keeps your bedroom and bathroom totally separate from your entertaining, cooking and living space on the main floor. However, because it’s open to below it benefits from the feeling of airiness and light of the two-stories of glass windows. The bedroom includes an overhead light fixture with a built-in ceiling fan that enhances the air circulation throughout the loft.
The bedroom has a closet and adjoins the large private ensuite 3 piece master bathroom. The platform bed frame offers substantial storage and may be included in the sale of the loft if the buyer so desires (to be documented in a separate agreement – contact listing agent for details.)
Ensuite Bathroom with Ensuite Laundry
The ensuite 3 piece bath is spacious and one of the nicest features of this loft because of it’s large size and elegant design. The double shower is encased in a glass shower cabinet. There ensuite laundry is also contained in this bathroom and includes a washing machine and a clothes dryer.
Powder Room
It’s truly rare to have a separate 2 piece powder room in a 1 bedroom suite, but this loft manages to include a wonderful powder room in the layout! Located just off the entrance foyer this bathroom offers your guests convenience, while allowing you to keep your own bath private. Beautifully finished and truly luxurious.
